Códigos corretores de erros em espaços poset

Abstract

This piece of work treats of error correcting codes and their dual codes in poset spaces. Initially we will cover the concepts of what is a code and the need of an error correction code in a communication system and the main properties of finite fields. These concepts combined are used for building the error correction codes in Hamming spaces, which are currently largely applied. Poset spaces are proposed as a generalization of the Hamming spaces e we will build the codes over poset spaces and some of their consequences, as the occurrence of P-MDS codes. Then, we will state and prove the Duality Theorem for poset spaces. Lastly, we will analyze the P-chain codes some and of their properties derived from the Duality Theorem.
